Grand Canyon Photo Expedition

Photos and text byDavid Harris

David Harris was a member of the May 2002 Grand Canyon Workshop Expedition. This page contains some of his selected photographs from that trip.

Bighorn Ram

This magnificent animal seemed quite unimpressed by a raft of photographers blasting away in continuous high. I was a little slow getting to my camera so my selection of frames is limited, none are both well composed and critically sharp. I like this composition, regretably it suffers from camera shake and an 8 x 12 does not hold up to close scrutiny.

Dry Wash

This is a fairly complex composition held together by the repetition  of forms in the foreground vegetation, middle distance trees and distant canyon walls. I took care to keep the lovely green of the trees contained with the horizon of the canyon wall.

Dunes

I found these crosslit rippled dunes in late evening and worked quickly before the light faded....
